Ready to make partner?

Hi, I’m Cecilia, an international executive coach for women lawyers.  

You’ve worked hard to build your legal career.

You’re ambitious, talented and committed to being the best lawyer you can be.

But despite your expertise, the pathway to partnership still feels uncertain. 

  • Maybe you question whether you belong at the top.

  • Perhaps you’re terrified about building a client base that is profitable enough to support not only you and also a team.

  • Maybe you keep being told to raise your profile—but you don’t know how. 

Many talented women lawyers hesitate to speak up, advocate for themselves or confidently step into leadership roles.

The result? It takes longer than it should for them to become partners—if they make it at all. And if they do get there, it’s much tougher than it needs to be. 

I understand these challenges because I’ve been there.

Like you, I invested years in my legal career. I became qualified in Australia, the UK and France, working as a finance lawyer in prestigious firms and later structuring investment funds for an international asset manager. 

In these roles, I saw first-hand how many brilliant women weren’t achieving their full potential—not because they lacked talent, but because they lacked confidence.  They hesitated to take up space, unsure of how to navigate the unspoken rules of promotion. I recognized their struggles because they were once my own.

That’s why I decided to step away from my successful corporate career and build a business dedicated to empowering women lawyers like you. I combined my lived experience in the legal industry with my training as a certified coach, mediator and performer and my experience of the transformative power of Gestalt therapy to help women lawyers like you achieve partnership with confidence. Today, through bespoke one-to-one coaching, the “Pathway to Partnership” group program, and the intimate “Firm Women” breakfasts in Paris, I work with women lawyers to:

  • Speak with authority in meetings, pitches and high-stakes conversations

  • Build a strong client base and generate business opportunities

  • Overcome self-doubt and step into leadership with confidence

  • Navigate firm politics and position themselves for partnership

  • Advocate for themselves and negotiate the role they deserve

Alongside my work with individual clients, I also speak at leading organizations such as Hogan Lovells, DLA Piper, Citibank, Natixis and HEC, helping organisations foster more inclusive leadership cultures.

I believe that when more women become partners, they create real change from within—shaping firm culture, mentoring the next generation and ensuring that law firms work better for everyone.

If you’re ready to make the transition to partnership and thrive as a leader in your firm, let’s take that next step together.

I HAVE WORKED WITH:

Today, my mission is to help you get clear on why you want to become a partner in a law firm, to develop your confidence and to teach you how to bring in clients consistently.

In other words, to make it inevitable that you make partner.

I’m guessing you’re here because that’s what you want too.

Here are a few ways I can help:

  • You’re thinking about partnership but you’re not completely convinced it’s for you? I’ll give you the clarity you need to focus on your dreams.   

  • You’re already a partner, and it’s so much harder than you thought? I’ll help you crack solutions to the smallest problems - and the biggest. 

  • You’re terrified about bringing in enough clients? I’ll show you how to have more clients that you can handle.
